Hibernate version: 3

Name and version of the database you are using: Oracle 9i

Hi, I'm trying to pull a Date column from an Oracle db and store it as a Date object.

It appears to be storing the correct date and time, but the timezone is not being set, instead it's using the timezone of the server, so it appears to be 6 hours ahead with my timezone.

I would like to be able to set the timezone, so that I can format the date, setting the timezone with the actual timezone that i want.

Can someone help to explain how to put the actual timezone from the Date column into the Date object?

Thanks!

Does anybody know the answer to this?

Is there a way to set a default time zone on the column in my hbm.xml file?

This might not be what you are looking for but have you considered setting your JVM's time zone?
